How to setup an AP310 for site survey mode

[Ahmadma]

Hi,

i am actually new in this Forum and need some help about : How to setup an AP310 for site survey mode (with Ekahau). 

I was using Cisco Access Point in Standalone Mode to plan the Wirless Design (Site Servey) using Ekahau. Using putty i was able to configure the AP without a Controller.

Now i have a customer who want to install Extreme Network AP310 and i have to plan the Wireless coverage.

What do i Need to do with the AP310. ? how to run the Site Survey mode and configure the AP using Putty.

Thanks a lot.

Ahmadma,

For this AP, you want it to operate in standalone mode, so make that selection up boot up.

From there, you can login using the default credentials and begin setting up the AP.

log in

Enter commands in BOLD
enable
config

(Build a bare-bones WLAN)
wlan survey   (Change “survey” to whatever you want the SSID to be)
authentication-type none

encryption-type ccmp
wpa-wpa2 psk 0 12345678 (change as needed)

show context (this will show you what you have in the WLAN so far)
commit write
exit

(Map the WLAN to a radio)
profile ap310 310survey

interface radio 1 (This is for 2.4GHz)
wlan survey (Use whatever you named the wlan earlier)

power 10 (This is in dBm. Change as needed)
interface radio 2 (This is for 5GHz)
wlan survey

power 10 (This is in dBm. Change as needed)
commit write

(Define the regulatory area the APs will operate)
config
rf-domain us (change as needed)
commit write

show run (see your config you've built)

At this point, the AP should begin beaconing the “survey” SSID on both the 2.4 and 5GHz radios.

This is a very basic configuration that just gets a PSK BSS operating on the 310. If you need any other special configurations, those will need to be added.

Hi StephanH,

I get the AP310 from our customer, and I think they use WING Management. 

It their any documentation or reference Guid for CLI?

Ahmadma,

do you have an controller for your AP? XCC or Wing? Or what is the target scenario? Depending on that you have different options. In case of Wing you can boot your AP as Standalone and configure your site survey in CLI, as Chrus wrote.

Connecting to Identifi is not possible with an AP310.
